How do i figure out the moving expenses

[jonathandpaul]

i have qualified (excluded) travel expenses and non-qualified (taxable) moving expenses

The best way to figure this out is to use the interactive IRS guide Can I Deduct My Moving Expenses it provides an accurate guide as to what can be claimed or not.  To use this tool you will need your W2 with the amount for the moving reimbursement and the information/receipts of all the moving expenses you paid.  To learn more on all you can deduct, please read; IRS Moving Expense and Deductions.

Thank you - based on the information/interactive guide...I see that the expenses were reimbursed on box 1 of w-2 as wages and is much greater than box 12P. Based on this I can deduct the certain things the IRS states, yes? When can you not deduct these moving expenses even when they are included in wages and greater than box 12P reimbursement? Is there any exceptions where you meet the criteria but still cannot deduct if employer adds as wages and is greater than box 12P?
